Hey Guys, I have a 1994 honda civic 1.5 - 16 valve and it ran great one day and would not start the next. I have checked the gas (injectors) and the spark and I have both. The check engine lite does not come on. It won't fire at all. The only thing that happened the day before was I went down a very bad road and hit my tail pipe in the middle and it came out of the the hangers. I have checked the tail pipe end and I am getting pressure coming out. It is very hard for me when I have fire and gas and it won't at least fire. PLease let me know what this might be.
Thanks
Myles
P.S. I live in Mexico and this makes it even harder!

 

If you know for a fact that you have both fuel and spark, then i would check ignition timing and/or the timing belt. Maybe your timing belt jumped a tooth and set the timing out of wack. The car does crank (you can hear the starter turning the engine over correctly) right?

 

My second new Honda was a 94 EX coupe....It had 2 problems, both recall issues. The A/C condensor, and the Ignitor for the ignition. It would crank, but NOT start? Just a thought.

 

I don't think its the ignitor since he gets spark at the plugs/plug wires.

 

mine does this too, but it will start and run but sounds like it is just barely hanging on, and it will not rev up or nothing when you give it gas, any ideas.

 

how long since a tune-up.
make sure no restrictions in the intake.
is the air filter in good shape.
sounds like the timing is off - check that
